Aizawl bans drones over ‘red zone’ areas, warns of penalty

In Aizawl district, designated ‘red zones’ enforce a strict no-fly policy for drones, particularly around sensitive government and defense locations. Anyone caught operating a drone here could face fines as steep as Rs 1 lakh. Meanwhile, ‘yellow zones’ necessitate prior approval from aviation authorities, while ‘green zones’ facilitate drone operations up to specific altitudes without needing additional permits.
